A Multidisciplinary Guide To Cloud Cost Intelligence

Cloud cost intelligence has moved beyond simple cost-cutting. Now, it’s about creating value. Cloud bills continue to rise, and workloads are becoming increasingly complex. Teams also need to understand what they’re spending, why, and how that spend ties to business results. FinOps has become the framework for bringing finance and engineering together. It’s helping teams manage costs, improve margins, and plan with confidence. But challenges remain.

This Developer Built an App That Doesn't Spy on You

Rizel Scarlet (Staff Developer Advocate at Block) tackled a problem every developer should care about: apps that spy on users before they even know they need the service. Her solution? Build a privacy-first pregnancy app using AI agents and decentralized web nodes. This isn't just about pregnancy apps - it's about the future of user data ownership.

Docker Daemon Logs: How to Find, Read, and Use Them

Sometimes Docker behaves in ways that catch you off guard—containers don’t start as expected, images pause during pull, or networking takes longer than usual to respond. In those moments, the Docker daemon logs are your best reference point. These logs capture exactly what the Docker engine is doing at any given time. They give you a running account of system state, performance signals, and events that help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface.

Recapping SEV0 San Francisco 2025

Earlier this week, we gathered in San Francisco for our second SEV0—almost a year after our very first event. SEV0 has always been about shining a light on the biggest challenges (and opportunities) in incident response. Last year, we were still talking about the fundamentals: blameless culture, strong processes, and lessons from the best in reliability. This year felt different. AI has moved from background noise to front and center in every conversation, every team, everywhere.

The Unit Economics Of Watering My Lawn: A Lesson On Runaway AI Costs

My wife and I spent hours this summer at home digging in the dirt. We planted new shrubs and perennials and created a small vegetable garden. We spread many square yards of fresh topsoil and grass seed over areas of lawn that needed rejuvenation. It turns out, I should have done all that landscaping with a FinOps leader’s mindset — before my water bill tripled when I wasn’t looking.

Ship features faster and safer with Datadog Feature Flags

Releasing new features is one of the highest-stakes moments in the software delivery life cycle. Even with CI/CD pipelines in place, plenty of things can still go wrong when a feature goes live for actual users. Most feature flagging tools operate in isolation from important observability tooling, forcing engineers to monitor changes across multiple disconnected systems to fully understand their impact. This slows down development and increases the chance of missing critical issues.

JFrog and ServiceNow: Accelerate Trusted Software Application Development

Today’s software organizations can’t make tradeoffs between speed and trust – you need both to succeed. But juggling them is tough. Moving too fast can lead to security vulnerabilities and compliance issues, while moving too slow means your competitors beat you to market. This tension creates friction that slows down every release, a problem that is rooted in your software pipeline.

Introducing Runner Replicas: Scalable, Reliable Automation for Modern Ops

When you’re responsible for the reliability of complex systems, the execution layer of your automation is not something you want to think about—it should just work. Whether you’re deploying code, patching servers, or responding to an incident at 3 a.m., your automation engine should be as resilient and scalable as the infrastructure it’s operating on.
